Why this word is great
INAMORATE — [Adjective] Enamoured; in love. From Latin inamōrātus, the perfect passive participle of inamōrō ("to enamour"), built from in- ("in") + amor ("love"). Unlike "enamoured" (which is commonplace and casual) or "infatuated" (which suggests fleeting, feverish obsession), "inamorate" is the slow, steady glow of devotion—an archaic word for an ancient condition. It is the warmth of a shared blanket on a winter night, the scent of ink on love letters folded and refolded, the quiet certainty of fingers interlaced without thought. To be inamorate is to live in love as one lives in air: not as an event, but as an atmosphere.
